I think the idea's terrible and only serves to guilt people. Like, what, don't feel bad because someone has it worse, don't feel good 'cause someone has it better? I say just enjoy what you can and it's okay to feel what you feel.

arguing with someone who is unreasonable for any length of time will make anyone sane question how reasonable they are themselves... lol

those who don't appreciate the things they have, or neglect them entirely, or begrudge those who do appreciate and utilize what they have and further themselves, and struggle earnestly to reach their full potential/goals... -drivesmenutssorry-

I'm not bothered by much. (honest)

(obviously criminal or sociopath behavior... that sorta thing... only natural to abhor extremely harmful, selfish, often misguided actions or attitudes... imho)

a poor attitude... it's a reflection of the person's psyche~ they come in all flavours, so it's not one thing that determines it and isn't easy to distinguish at first glance usually... and certainly isn't the same for everyone. I don't like to associate with people who have toxic attitudes... negativity breeds negativity.

I actually like when attractive people know how good they look.
I think modesty is a fake gesture most of the time.
I just dislike people who take themselves way to seriously and easily get offended.

I noticed the most confident self obsessed people can laugh at themselves because at the end of the day they know their own self worth.

This why I get along with aries most of the time lol

I think hypocrisy really grinds my gears, this why I can't get along with religious folk.

There is value in high personal ego that translates into social self confidence.

I dislike when folks are going in on someone, who is not there, and they expect you to join in.

That and what I'd call story for story stuff, someone one may somewhat know shares a personal story and then expect you to share one back.

I'm not usually bothered by much either. Cramps amplify *everything*, but I was a good sport when I couldn't walk.

ain't got time for that~

I've thought about this before, when people assume that I am that negative all the time. They only miss out when I'm in a great mood.

Exactly. Thank you!! that's for others who responded, too.)

Last night, I showered, snuggled up on the couch with a good, new book and a large mug of hot, sweet tea. I was grateful for:

* the shower
* the body wash
* the shampoo for my hair
* the pile of books from the library (feels like Christmas morning when that happens)
* the fact that the people and pets I loved were safe and alive for the night
* the good book that I started to read
* the wireless headphones that I wear to listen to the CD's that help me to get to sleep (at times)
* my fan
* the heating in my house
* the cheesecake I had a slice of,
* the liquid tylenol
* and that, the afternoon when I felt like hell, it was raining beautifully out there, relaxing me, and I had free tv shows to watch on-demand.

So excuse me for not being happy about:

* brutal cramps
* having no income
* my sister crushing me over her husband who caused trouble
* my mother going along with it
* my mother's drinking
* my dad being exhausted from his job, and needing an operation that he can't afford
* family members, friends, and pets dying - dropping like flies
* bitchy people
* judgemental people
* panic attacks that scare the **** out of me
* crushing depression, that I pull myself out of time and time again
* the anxiety that paralyzed me for years, and still does at times (pointing back at the panic attacks)
* fatigue!

Sorry, but most people who had crappy parents suffer from it and while they try not to wallow in it, it still effects them.

That's great that you had a good family life, but don't make fun of others or talk down to those who havent. Like they are just supposed to magically heal from it and be just like you. You, who grew up with a great support system and had everything handed to you and can't imagine how someone could have ill feelings towards the people who brought them into this world, no matter what they have done to you.

How dare you tell someone how to feel when you grew up with a cushy life with lots of love.

They do something that they knew would be bad for them and then complain the next day to me about how bad it was... I just tell them off. Ugh it's so annoying stfu

When people supposedly live by a motto they go advertising everywhere like "stay true" or "peace&love" and they don't walk the walk.
-_- So pathetic

That's something that gets to me. A friend of mine was talking about someone else this way the other day and it started to irritate me because I wanted to tell her that parental relationships pretty much make a person or set them up for a lifetime of whatever. Just because she had it easy and can't understand that person, it's no reason to talk badly about them and pretty much make fun of the fact that they have expressed that their life is screwed up largely because of their parents. I know that person is working on it and themself. She's out of line thinking that they have no reason to feel the way they do and looking down on them and thinking they should just suck it up and grow up. It's not right and she is in no position to judge.
